Alcohol Tipping Point episodes

January 22, 2025The Last Episode.. For Now
After a lot of thought I’ve decided to pause the podcast and live Alcoholiday groups (just cannot bring myself to say end them, because, who knows?) It’s been a great run of 200+ podcasts and 42ish Alcoholidays (wow!!) I just celebrated my 5 years of alcohol freedom and I’m ready to focus in a different direction. What that is- I don’t know yet, but I do know I need to be part of something bigger than me and have meaningful in real life connection and community.
In this last podcast I reflect on my last 5 years of sobriety and ATP and go into more of an explanation of making this decision.
Thank you so much for listening and being part of the ATP community. I just can't express my thanks enough. I would not have kept doing this if it weren't for you all. Please remember- you are not broken and you can change.
Much love and gratitude,
Deb

This episode delves into her transformation, from struggles with moderation to the lasting impact of the word ‘unapologetic’ on her life.

How the military impacted Jenni’s drinking
Struggling with moderation
What has been most helpful for staying alcohol free
Embracing an unapologetic life
